Damn straight, skippy. As cool as those guys may be, they can't touch the coolest sci-fi/fantasy characters of all-time:
5. Jack Burton (Big Trouble in Little China)
Famous line: "It's all in the reflexes."
Best line: "Okay. You people sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn, call the president."
Best movie: Uh, Big Trouble in Little China. Still waiting for a sequel. More Trouble in Little China?
4. Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly TV series, Serenity movie)
Famous line: "I aim to misbehave."
Best line: (Over the ship's intercom) "This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then explode."
Best episode/movie: Serenity. The movie is where he's at his best.
Where's my big damn clip?
3. Han Solo (duh)
Famous line: “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
Best line: “Had a slight weapons malfunction, but everything's perfectly alright now. We're fine, we're all fine, here, now, thank you. How are you?”
Best movie: It's kind of a tie. He's cool and sassy in Star Wars but in Empire, the sarcasm and wit are taken up a notch. In Jedi he's kinda lame.
2. Indiana Jones
Famous line: "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"
Best line: It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage."
Best movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Oh s**t, no clip!
1. William Adama (Battlestar Galactica, new series)
Famous line: "Launch all fighters."
Best line: “When you stand on this deck, you be ready to fight, or you dishonor the reason why we're here. Now remember this: When you fight a man, he's not your friend. Same goes when you lead men. I forgot that once. I let you get too close. All of you. I dropped my guard. I gave some of you breaks, let some of you go, before the fight was really over. I let this crew and this family disband. And we paid the price in lives. That can't happen again.”
Best episode: "33"
No clip for you!

Nice list.
And while the new BSG isn't always my favorite show, Adama is amazing. I agree with your #1.
And I would have had Jack Burton higher.
A bit of trivia for BtiLC - it started out as a sequel to Buckaroo Banzai. Burton was in the initial script of Buckaroo as a Blue Blaze Irregular. Lo Pan was going to be the guy that led the Hong Kong Crime League.
What about Jack Burton's legendary
"We may be trapped."? Or his hilarious "I know I know there's a problem with your face."?
When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
That's my favorite. Or one of them. There are so many great lines it that movie, it's hard to pick just one.
On a somewhat unrelated note:
Burton.
Bauer.
O'Neil.
Sparrow.
All named Jack. All Bad@sses.
Coincidence?
My wife and I are trying for our third kid. If a boy, we'll name him Jack.
